Program: AL 14.228 – Community Development Block Grants – Reporting Corrective Action Plan: DED has changed its FFATA reporting procedure to ensure that the FFATA information is reported in FSRS within the required timeframe. The FFATA reporting process was previously a special condition to the release of funds. The timeframe for completing special conditions often takes months, which is beyond the deadline for reporting FFATA information to FSRS. DED has changed its procedure to require that the awardee submit the FFATA information to DED at the time the awardee executes the subaward. Nothing can proceed and move forward in the award workflow until DED receives the FFATA information. DED program staff is notified of completion of the FFATA information by the awardee. The FFATA information is now given to the Finance Team when the subaward is executed which gives the Finance Team adequate time to submit the information to FSRS. All DED’s departments, programs, and awards that manage federal grants now use this FFATA procedure. Contact: Audrey Sautter, DED Compliance Team Manager Anticipated Completion Date: DED has already implemented this new FFATA procedure.

Finding 2023-001: Student Financial Assistance Cluster, Department of Education Programs Program Name: Federal Direct Student Loans CFDA Numbers: 84.268 Corrective Action Plan: The University will update written procedures to clearly identify a step to manually do enrollment testing following all conferral of degrees. For those regularly scheduled graduation periods and following the submission of both the degree and last of term enrollment files, we will randomly sample 10% of graduated students and manually verify their statuses. For degrees conferred outside of the regularly scheduled graduation periods, each record will be manually verified. This will ensure recorded graduation records will be verified within the National Student Clearinghouse to ensure alignment between degree history and enrollment history.

FINDING 2023 - 004 Finding Subject: COVID-19 – Education Stabilization Fund - Reporting Summary of Finding: The School Corporation had not designed or implemented a system of internal controls, which would include appropriate segregation of duties, that would likely be effective in preventing, or detecting and correcting, noncompliance. The School Corporation was to submit an annual data report to the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) via JotForm, a form/report builder. During the audit period the School Corporation was required to submit two ESSER I reports, two ESSER II reports, and two ESSER III reports—a total of six reports. However, the School Corporation failed to submit all six required reports. We recommended that management of the School Corporation establish a proper system of internal controls and develop policies and procedures to ensure reports are submitted.

The Business Manager will prepare the final expenditure reports, and the Grant Specialist will review and compare the report to the ledger to verify that it is correct. After the review, the Business Manager will submit the final expenditures reports. Additionally, the Business Manager and Grant Specialist have developed a shared calendar that includes all report due dates.

Condition: During our testing of the Health Care Agency’s (HCA) compliance with reporting requirements, we noted for four (4) of four (4) reports the department did not retain evidence of the review and approval over the performance report. Cause: HCA personnel prepared program required performance reports and submitted the reports without retaining documented evidence that the reports were reviewed and approved by a separate individual prior to submission. Effect: The County did not document their review and approval of the report. Questioned Costs: No questioned costs were identified as a result of our procedures. Context/Sampling: The entire population of four (4) reports were selected for reporting testwork from HCA.

The Office of Financial Aid concurs with the audit of Pell 15-day reporting finding. The Compliance is clearly stated the timeframe to send an original Pell Grant disbursement to COD is within 15 days of the date of disbursement. We also understand we have the ability to go back into the account and make an adjustment as needed. As of September 2023, Whittier College has reached out to our software vender Ellucian Banner to find a solution on how to avoid these incidents of not sending Pell Grant disbursements to COD in the timeframe allotted for compliance. We have now been given a new process that will solve this issue to ensure the Pell Grants are all originated on COD thus allowing the disbursements to be sent within the 15-day compliance timeframe. We will continue to reconcile the Pell Grants twice a month internally to ensure any issues get resolved, if any noted, in a timely manner.
